    Foiled By Modern Techology

    This is embarrassing to admit, but today I managed to totally screw up
    the settings on my new widescreen TV. I have no idea how it happened
    really. I think when I picked up the remote, I pressed some buttons by
    accident & ended up with a much smaller screen & closed captioning of all
    the audio.

    I messed around with the remote and got everything back to normal,
    but I have no idea what I did to cause it or to fix it.

    Oh gosh, I've done that before... and tried to figure out what I did. I pressed and pressed but just made the situation worse with every button I pressed. I turned it off and hoped it would fix itself.

    Finally, my husband came home and I knew it didn't fix itself.

    I could here the rant from the other room...

    WTF.... Carmen, what did you do to the TV?

    Ooops

    It's time to read the manual. That's what worked for me.

    Story of my life. With computers and cell phones giving me enough grief, now I have added my flatscreen to the mix.

    If you need tech support, go into the owner's manual that came with the tv and there should be a toll-free number that might help. They may even be able to walk you through it.

    Turning it off & on again did occur to me, but I didn't really think it would
    help anything. I tried to figure out which buttons I had hit.
    I kept looking for the "Dummies" button. This remote can do about every
    thing but make toast, so I guess I will have to sit down with the manual
    & test it all out sometime when I'm not in a rush.

    Anyway, I'm glad I'm not the only one that's had a problem.
